Ocean House Sustainable Tourism Certified

The World’s Largest Tourism Certification Program

Ocean House officially received Gold Sustainable Tourism Certification August 2018. Achieving this high level of tourism certification was as a result of the commitment to Haida and local employment, locally sourced foods and beverages, cultural tours, preservation of the environment and implementing recycling and energy saving strategies.

About the Program

Sustainable Tourism (formerly Green Tourism) is the world’s largest and most credible sustainable tourism certification program. Sustainable Tourism Canada has assessed each company thoroughly using a set of criteria in 11 different categories ranging from resource consumption, sustainable purchasing, and transportation to culture, management, and nature. Sustainable Tourism Canada provides suggestions on how to further reduce impact on the environment and assists in building a green business.

Companies are reassessed every two years and must demonstrate continual improvement in sustainability performance in order to maintain and improve the level of certification.
